  • Depth image enhancement method
    Patent number: 10275857
    Abstract: A method for enhancing a depth image of a scene, comprises calculating an enhanced depth image by blending a first filtered depth image with a second filtered depth image or with the original depth image. The blending is achieved by application of a blending map, which defines, for each pixel, a contribution to the enhanced depth image of the corresponding pixel of the first filtered depth image and of the corresponding pixel of either the second filtered depth image or the original depth image. For pixels in the depth image containing no depth value or an invalid depth value, the blending map defines a zero contribution of the corresponding pixel of the second filtered depth image and a 100% contribution of the corresponding pixel of the first filtered image.
